Since the demise of MyGamerCard.net as well as Duncan MacKenzie's API for Xbox LIVE, developers like myself have had to find alternate means of getting data from the Xbox LIVE servers if they are not included in the XCDP group. This has lead to us having to screen scrape data from certain xbox.com pages.

I have written a nice class that scrapes data from xbox.com for a given gamertag, and returns the data in JSON or XML format. It also caches the responses for 1 hour.

You can find the source for this on GitHub: http://github.com/JB.../Xbox-LIVE-API/

To call the API if you want to host it on your own server, I have also provided a wrapper class. Simply instantiate the wrapper like so:

<?php
$response = new XboxWrapper();
$response = $response->getGamerInfo('{gamertag}');
?>

To get an idea of what info this API will return, here are a few samples:
http://gamingbrother...Z IE&format=xml
http://gamingbrother...lson&format=xml
http://gamingbrother...lage&format=xml

For an explanation of what each element will return, check this out: http://community.xbo...d-api-48.0.html

Included you will find a gamercard generator as well. Have fun!
